Aishwarya Rai Bachchan Salman Khan, who has been drawing flak after being appointed as the Goodwill Ambassador to represent the Indian contingent at the Rio Olympics 2016, saying one must give due recognition to anybody doing good to represent the country. "I just have to say that anybody who is doing good to represent the country and anyone who is working or speaking or standing up for the betterment of whatever vocation we have in our country, be it sports, be it arts, be it music, I think that's wonderful and is something which needs to be recognised," she told the media. Salman's appointment as the goodwill ambassador of the Indian contingent for the upcoming Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro came under criticism from wrestler Yogeshwar Dutt and legendary sprinter Milkha Singh. Both questioned the motive behind appointing a Bollywood superstar instead of a sportsperson as the ambassador.

The three Khan's of Bollywood, Salman Khan, Shahrukh Khan and Aamir Khan would reunite soon and be seen together not on the silver screen, unfortunately, but would be seen alongside the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi. It is reported that the Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has decided to arrange a star studded bash to celebrate his two successive years in the office and would invite Shahrukh Khan, Salman Khan and Aamir Khan to share the podium together. However, the star studded bash is just the aftermath of the programme. It is reported that PM Narendra Modi, would invite the three megastars of Bollywood for a particular cause. The cause, is not known yet, and we will have to wait and watch for an official statement from the Governement. Shahrukh Khan, had recently praised PM Narendra Modi's initiative on 'Make In India', and called it "the single most important initiative by our honourable Prime Minister" and continued "thereby creating job opportunities, skill enhancement." Is PM Narendra Modi's decision to call the three Khan's of Bollywood together on a podium, be to push 'Make In India' scheme further? We never know! If that might be the case, we're sure 'Make In India' might have a stronger identity and brand of its own and would inspire more number of people in the country to, 'make in India'. The last time when Shahrukh Khan, Salman Khan and Aamir Khan were seen together, was for the show, Rajat Sharma's Aap Ki Adalat in Delhi. The three Khan's, litrelly brought the house down with their funny antics and hilarious jokes. Though Shahrukh, Salman and Aamir compete with each other professionally, on a personal level, the trio are on a good term and respect each others views really well.
Salman Khan, received a lot of criticism when he was appointed as the Goodwill Ambassador for India at the Rio Olympics 2016, and a lot of athletes expressed their displeasure. It is now reported that the officials are deciding to replace Salman Khan with cricketing legend Sachin Tendulkar. As per a report in ANI, the Indian Olympics Association has written a letter to the little master Sachin Tendulkar, to be the Goodwill Ambassador for India at the Rio Olympics. Sachin Tendulkar, is yet to reply regarding the appointment. Wrestler Yogeshwar Dutt, tweeted as, "Everybody has the right to promote movies in India, but Olympics is not a place to promote films (possibly referring to Sultan). Can anyone tell me what the role of goodwill ambassador is? Why are you fooling the public?" There was a war of words between sprint-legend Milkha Singh, and Salman Khan's father Salim Khan on Twitter. The duo, shared their point of views and Milkha Singh, was still not conviced as to why Salman Khan is the Goodwill Ambassador for the Rio Olympics. Salman Khan's father, Salim Khan, had tweeted against Milkha Singh in such a way, as though Bollywood was doing a favour to his name and stardom. "The same industry which resurrected you from fading away in oblivion". Tweeted Salim Khan, against sprint-legend Milkha Singh. However, Milkha Singh disagreed to Salim Khan's views as, "Let him have his views. I don't have anything to say regarding this. I have already put in my views. All the members of the Olympic contingent are our ambassadors. The IOA should have thought of what's the need of the ambassador. I'm saying that the team who all are going whether it is shooting, wrestling, boxing or athletics, they all are our ambassadors. Out of 120 crore people in India, they have been our ambassador then what is the need of any other ambassador? It doesn't make sense to appoint someone in this role. If an ambassador is required, we have many great sportspersons, like Sachin Tendulkar, P.T. Usha, Ajitpal Singh, Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore,"

Yes people you read it right! Our favourite bachelor Salman Khan will soon tie the knot with the Romanian beauty Iulia Vantur. The Bollywood heavyweight, who turned 50 in December last year, is planning to bid goodbye to his bachelorhood by the end of 2016. But not because he is madly in love with Iulia but because of his ailing mother, Salma Khan. According to a blind item in Mumbai Mirror, ''So the not-young and single superstar may well be married by the year's end. The forever bachelor has decided that nuff's nuff. We hear his current girlfriend, a foreigner, may soon end up being the most powerful woman in the film biz. Not an enviable spot we assure you, for it isn't her love that will make him pop a ring. Rather it's his ailing mum, who wants to see her baby boy well taken care of. Oh, the more things change.''
